Good Walter Matthau vehicle co-starring Bruce Dern.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Although an extremely violent movie, The Laughing Policeman benefits from skillful pacing, a literate script, and fine performances by Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern.

TV Guide
After an extremely overdone prolog of violent mass murder on a bus, The Laughing Policeman becomes a handsomely made manhunt actioner.

The story is a good, gripping mystery, not so much a who-done-it as a how-will-we-nail-him.

Rating: 3/4 --
The Laughing Policeman is an awfully good police movie: taut, off-key, filled with laconic performances. It provides the special delight we get from gradually unraveling a complicated case.

By the end, complete with car chase and split-second shooting, the film has become indistinguishable from all those movies it's trying so hard to disown.
